Chapter 72
"Hey, sister Karin, you came so early today."
Yu Liu, wearing a coarse cloth farm outfit, came to the river where she usually placed the fish basket with a bamboo basket on her back.
A simple greeting already shows that Karin has come here more than once to practice ninjutsu.
The several times they met, plus Karin occasionally took out some delicious snacks to share, made Yu Liu completely let down her guard against Karin.
After all, Yu Liu was just a poor orphan who grew up in a rural village without knowing the world, and usually came into contact with extremely simple neighbors. There was no so-called village tyrant in Tsuchida Village, and Yu Liu, who ate food from hundreds of families, had never encountered the kind of bad words and expulsion like Naruto.
In short, Yu Liu's simple character made him quickly accept Karin's kindness.
Yu Liu was not a person who was greedy for small gains, so he also treated Xianglin to grilled fish, grilled corn, grilled potatoes, etc., and grilled dragonflies and cicadas. However, Xianglin was a little averse to insects, so he could not enjoy those kinds of grilled insects.
"Yu Liu, have you ever thought about going out of the village to see the outside world?" Xianglin carefully tested.
Yu Liu responded carelessly:"I have thought about it suddenly, but it's just a thought. I am alone and have no ability. The neighbors said that the outside world is very dangerous, especially for a girl like me. If I am not careful when walking on the road, an accident may happen."
Yu Liu said and looked at Xianglin with envy.
"If I were a ninja like you, sister Karin, I would definitely go out for a walk. I heard that the capital cities of the daimyo of the five major countries are very prosperous. I really want to go and see them!"
Karin squinted her eyes slightly:"So, you want to be a ninja?"
Yu Liu hesitated:"I do want to, but I've heard that there are very few people who can become ninjas. Many ordinary people have tried to practice and it seems that they have never succeeded. For someone like me, I definitely don't have the talent to become a ninja."
Karin smiled playfully:"If you don't try, how can you know if you have the talent to become a ninja?"
Yu Liu was stunned:"Try, how do you try?"
""Since you want to become a ninja, I can teach you how to become a ninja, so are you willing to learn?" Karin asked with a serious expression.
Yu Liu widened his eyes and asked in surprise:"Really? Sister Karin wants to teach me so that I can become a ninja?"
Karin shook her head slightly:"I am only responsible for teaching you the basics of becoming a ninja. As for whether you can become a ninja, everything depends on you. If you have talent in that area, it will be easy. So, are you willing to learn?"
Yu Liu was afraid that Karin would regret it, so he immediately expressed his willingness.
So Karin taught Yu Liu the most basic chakra refining technique, and after Yu Liu tried to refine chakra for a few days, Karin let Yu Liu feel how much chakra Yu Liu converted from his own spirit and cell energy to determine whether Yu Liu was suitable to become a ninja.
As for Karin teaching Yu Liu chakra refining, several high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Sky naturally knew about it. After all, almost all of Karin's actions were carried out under Takemoto's secret care.
However, the great leader pretended by Naruto ordered them not to interfere with any of Karin's actions. When he was not there, they had to obey Karin's orders, so no one dared to question Karin's little actions.
As for teaching Yu Liu, Karin also told Naruto early on, and pointed out that Yu Liu was very likely to be a ninja. She may also have the blood of the Uzumaki clan.
Naruto had guessed this a long time ago. After all, she has red hair, can become the heroine of a movie, and is the carrier of the artificial tailed beast"Zero Tail". All these characteristics hint at Yu Liu's identity.
In fact, Naruto didn't want to interfere in Yu Liu's affairs, but somehow, Karin met her and had a lot of interactions with her.
Therefore, Naruto just let it go. As for the future, he will definitely not let Yu Liu be like in the original movie, where she suffers from a serious illness and is rejected by the villagers in the same village, and finally is deceived and uses negative emotions to give birth to a monster like Zero Tail.
Due to the convenience of Flying Thunder God, Naruto goes to the underground fortress of the Sky Country every two days, even on the way to the Snow Country on a mission.
However, if the distance is too far, the use of Flying Thunder God will consume a lot of chakra. It took him a long time to recover.
The mission in the Snow Country was over, and everyone returned to Konoha peacefully. Tsunade was quite satisfied with the various manufacturing technologies that Naruto had obtained from the Snow Country.
However, since Konoha’s current economic capacity cannot support these technologies to be built into production lines, they can only be sealed up temporarily.
When Konoha’s economy recovers, they will be implemented one by one according to the actual situation.
In addition to these, Tsunade did not give Naruto any chance to rest. After all, Naruto’s multiple shadow clones were so useful, and it was so convenient to complete tasks and earn commissions.
In fact, Naruto did not really dislike Tsunade forcing him to do those large numbers of simple D-level and C-level tasks.
For future planning, he also needs to understand people’s livelihood from many small details.
Although Konoha’s prosperity is among the best in the entire ninja world, People's livelihood management is not universal, but this does not hinder future development.
And with the Ouroboros bracelet's inexplicable protection, Naruto has almost never been affected by the mental shock after the shadow clone dissipated.
All experiences and memories never need to be deliberately remembered. His illusion space seems to be able to infinitely back up everything he hears and sees.
So except for the daily need to spend a little time and chakra to split the shadow clone, Naruto's time is still very relaxed.
But this does not mean that he can relax casually. Sasuke still pesters him to practice in his illusion space every day.
Hinata will come to him as soon as she finishes the task. Before she is thirteen years old, she has become a good wife and mother. She cleans Naruto's room and changes clothes every two days, and occasionally brings a large box of lunch from her home for him and Sasuke to enjoy. She is gentle and considerate in front of Naruto. Although she has become very cheerful after Naruto's training, she will still blush and her heartbeat will speed up when Naruto touches her.
At the same time, Naruto often secretly used Flying Thunder God to go to Karin, and handed over the prospecting, exploration, mining and smelting technologies obtained from the Snow Country to Zemu.
He asked him to mobilize the appropriate amount of manpower to survey nearby to see if there are rich mines. If there are, he will organize manpower to start mining and smelting.
The first step is to completely reinforce the fortress base of the entire Sky Country, so as to avoid the situation that it will finally fly up, but it will break down on the spot due to various reasons.
Of course, practicing with Karin is also indispensable. Although the time is not much, it is enough for Karin's strength to be improved very quickly.
In addition to these, Konoha has had some changes in recent days, and there has been unrest in the prison cells where prisoners are held in the back mountain of Konoha.
The reason is that the rebel ninja Mizuki wanted to escape from prison and fooled the two mentally retarded brothers"Wind God" and"Thunder God" who were imprisoned.
The two brothers, Wind God and Thunder God, have intelligence almost equivalent to ordinary six or seven-year-old children, but their physique is equivalent to that of extremely strong sumo wrestlers.
And they have strong brute force. Ninjas like Asuma, who are not good at physical skills, are simply crushed by these two idiots in terms of brute force.
So, these two idiots were tricked by Mizuki to escape from prison, and happened to run into Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai who were on a date.
Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai knew the situation of the two brothers, so they didn't want to hurt them with ninjutsu. They wanted to persuade the two brothers to go back obediently to avoid suffering.
But the two brothers had no martial ethics, and they didn't care about anything like pig hair stuffed in their ears, and rushed up directly.
Then, Asuma and Kurenai were knocked unconscious.
The riot reached the Hokage's office. Tsunade took action personally, and with her strange strength, she easily suppressed the two idiots. Then, with another order, Naruto's shadow clone also caught Mizuki who escaped in the chaos.
Mizuki's prison escape had just been dealt with, and on the other side, Konoha's patrol ninjas rescued three refugees who fell into the river.
After waking up the two men and questioning them in detail, they learned that the three men were miners who had escaped from the Oxalis Gold Mine.
The three of them were not very good at swimming, and they thought they would die if they fell into the river. Unexpectedly, they escaped from death and were rescued by the people of Konoha.
As for the Oxalis Gold Mine, it is at the junction of the River Country and the Fire Country. The Oxalis Gold Mine was previously controlled by a noble.
Relying on the financial and human resources in his hands, the noble controlled the nearby villagers to mine for him day and night, and exploited the villagers who collected gold for him every day.
Later, Kurochu Raiga, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, led a group of men here, killed the noble with his own hands, and took over the Oxalis Gold Mine.
The villagers thought that good days were coming, but they didn't expect that the tiger drove away the jackal, and Kurochu Raiga's methods were even more cruel.
Whenever something happens...���Those mining workers who were lazy or secretly hid gold and stone were directly arranged to be buried alive.
In short, the miners of Oxalis Gold Mountain remembered the kindness of the noble master before. At least working under that noble master, even if they were a little cunning, they would not be buried alive on the spot.
Knowing that the person who currently occupied Oxalis Gold Mountain was Kurochu Raiga, the intelligence department immediately reported it to Tsunade.
The three refugees also hurriedly asked for help, hoping that Konoha could help drive away Kurochu Raiga and return Oxalis Gold Mountain to a clear world.
Tsunade took into account that Kurochu Raiga was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, and his strength was considered to be a strong elite jonin, and at present, almost all of Konoha's elite jonin were arranged to do various difficult field missions. Short of manpower, Tsunade thought for a while and thought of what Kakashi said to her before he left. Naruto and Sasuke's strength was not weaker than him, and they could definitely take on A-level tasks alone.
Thinking of this, Tsunade decided to arrange for Naruto or Sasuke to go. Since Rock Lee of Team 3 had run to the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers under the leadership of Might Guy when he was training in physical skills in the early days, he was familiar with the route, so he let the three people of Team 3 lead the team, so that they could take care of each other along the way.
